Great but very expensive

The entire creative suite 5 series is dedicated to graphics and fireworks illustrates this fantastically. I'm going to start off by giving a brief overview of what the suite includes (Feel free to look at the reviews for these as well)

Adobe fireworks is all about creating handy leaflet style things or just creating new images. I'm not going to give it too much credit because to be honest i think its just a bit of a glorified bversion of paint. However if you put some effort into learning how to use it you can use it for more than paint.

Not only does it allow you to create images using paintbrushes, virtual pencils and pens as well as lines. But it also allows you to edit text using many filters and edit pictures using masks and blur tools

I found fireworks really easy to grasp the basics of however i still struggle when using some of the more advanced features, however i use it at school and certainly wouldnt pay the massive price tag associated with it
